Kentuck is the #1 Arts Festival in Alabama and one of the Top Ten Fairs & Festivals in the USA.* Over 270 artists showing their work, live music, handson art-making, and interactive craft demonstrations await you on October 20 and 21, 2012. To make the weekend even more enjoyable, treat yourself to extra amenities as a Patron,
Collector, or Benefactor! At all levels of patronage—Patron, Collector, and Benefactor—you kick off the festival with the Patrons Party on Friday night at the Kentuck Art Center in historic downtown Northport, then enjoy snacks and meals at the park in the Patron Pavilion throughout the Festival. You also receive Kentuck Bucks (vouchers to spend exclusively on art at the Festival) and a Patron Ribbon to bestow on your favorite artist’s work. At the Benefactor level, you can take advantage of an hour of early-bird shopping on Saturday morning before the Festival begins, giving yourself first choice among the works of favorite—and soon-to-befavorite—artists.
